[Bug 918896] [NEW] No data returned from MSSQL server

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Thomas Ward (teward):

[Impact]

 * Due to an issue with PyMSSQL 1.0.x and the version of FreeTDX in the
repositories, PyMSSQL no longer returns any information from MSSQL
database queries.  This means you cannot use fetchone() or fetchall() or
similar methods to get data back from a database query.

[Test Case]

 * Install python-pymssql to Ubuntu.
 
 * Inside a 'python' console on the Ubuntu server, use the following python code, replacing values accordingly for your MSSQL servers.  The "print" function will return 'None' in the current code base.  When fixed, you will get either one value, or a tuple, depending on the results (but you will NOT get 'None'):

import pymssql
dbconn = pymssql.connect(host='FQDN_FOR_DBSERVER', user='DBUSER', password='DBPASSWORD', database='DBNAME')
dbcur = dbconn.cursor()
dbcur.execute('ANY_VALID_SQL_QUERY')
dbrs = dbcur.fetchone()
dbcur.close()
print dbrs


[Regression Potential]

 * The patch in the debdiffs is from pymssql upstream.  We are on a very
old pymssql, but this patch was designed to fix the issue.


[Other Info]
 
 * Test builds in https://launchpad.net/~teward/+archive/ubuntu/pymssql/+packages; these packages in that PPA are used for testing and were used to test the upstream patch.


[Original Description]

this works great in oneiric, but in precise it silently returns empty results from SQL server. The upstream project has relocated and provided a new release, I downloaded and built it and the same code I had started returning results.
